cassino can be rancid piazza , full of sadness and stale beer . But if you just vacuumed out all the gambling , they ’re astonishingly peaceful — if a little weird in the interior decoration section . lensman Joe Johnson shew it in “ The Playing Field , ” a project that documents Reno , its casinos , and almost zero world .
The image are plainly surrealistic : reflections of reflections edge by Ne lights and glowing screen door . If you do spot a homo , it looks like they ’ve been supply to the scene by a panther with a sinister sense of humor . Still , these image are n’t exactly funny . Like a stadium without a crowd , these quad appear lonely without mankind — regardless of how many lights , mirrors , or fake laurel wreath Tree you throw in . [ Joe JohnsonviaIt ’s Nice That ]
